How to Reduce Internal Heat (Fire)

When experiencing excessive internal heat (commonly referred to as "fire" in traditional Chinese medicine), methods to reduce this heat may include the following aspects: 1. Dietary adjustment: Increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those with high water content such as pears, bitter melon, and cucumbers, which have effects of clearing heat and detoxifying. Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, as they may worsen symptoms of excessive internal heat. 2. Lifestyle habits: Maintain good作息 habits, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid staying up late or overexertion. Engage in moderate aerobic exercise, such as jogging or rope skipping, which can promote metabolism and help reduce internal heat. 3. Medication: If symptoms of excessive internal heat are severe, patients may choose patent Chinese medicines or medicinal materials with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects under the guidance of qualified physicians, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Pian (Calculus Bovis Detoxification Tablets) or Lonicera Flower Granules. However, medications should be used under a physician's guidance to avoid self-medication and misuse. Patients with concerns are advised to seek timely medical consultation.
